“…In this study, the prevalence of violence was significantly higher among immigrants than among the native population, up to three times more frequent in Latin Americans and almost 6 times more frequent in the Moroccan population, figures that are moderately attenuated bearing in mind the age and sex of the different populations. This finding of immigrants’ greater vulnerability to violence is consistent with previous results (Samsó et al, 2007; Vives-Cases et al, 2009a, 2009b).…”

“…To our knowledge, it is the first in Spain to report data on prevalence of violence in both sexes, in a representative sample of the native and immigrant populations, because until now analyses published on violence in Spain have concentrated exclusively on the female gender (Aguar-Fernández, Delgado-Sánchez, Castellano-Arroyo, & Luna del Castillo, 2006; Escribá-Agüir et al, 2006; Plazaola-Castaño, Ruiz-Pérez, Escribá-Agüir, Montero-Pinar, & Cases, 2011; Ruiz-Pérez, Blanco-Prieto, & Vives-Cases, 2004; Ruiz-Pérez et al, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c, 2010; Vives-Cases et al, 2009a, 2009b). Likewise, our study shows results broken down by group of origin, an aspect of interest in view of the fact that culture has a widely varying influence on the incidence of abuse (Samsó et al, 2007), whereas most of the studies (Samsó et al, 2007; Vives-Cases et al, 2009a, 2009b) address and investigate violence among immigrants as a uniform group, without paying attention to the social, cultural, historical, and political heterogeneity of each group. The inclusion of the general population and especially vulnerable groups, such as immigrants, is one of the objectives of epidemiological research into violence and its magnitude (Ruiz-Pérez, Plazaola-Castaño, & Vives-Cases, 2007).…”

“…Spanish studies on the prevalence of violence among economic immigrants have exclusively addressed intimate partner violence (IPV), thus only in women. The results suggest that immigrant populations suffer more violence than natives in different geographical settings (Samsó, Faro, Costés, & Burballa, 2007; Vives-Cases et al, 2009a, 2009b). In Spain, prevalence of IPV in the immigrant population has been estimated at 27.3% versus 14.3% in Spaniards (Vives-Cases et al, 2009b).…”

Immigrants constitute a population vulnerable to the problem of violence. This study sought to ascertain the prevalence of violence reported by the immigrant population in the Murcian Region of Spain and characterize the related factors, taking the country population as reference. A cross-sectional study was carried out based on a representative population sample of Latin American (n = 672; 48% women), Moroccan (n = 361; 25% women), and Spanish origin (n = 1,303; 66% women), aged 16 to 64 years. Using a specific questionnaire, the prevalence of violence in the preceding year was assessed. The results were compared with the Spaniards using the 2006 National Health Survey (NHS). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to study the factors associated with violence having been reported in each group, both separately and in immigrants versus Spaniards. Finally, the cause and place of last aggression were studied. The prevalence of violence was 6.5% in Latin Americans, 12.0% in Moroccans, and 2.7% in Spaniards. Discrimination was the principal violence-related factor in all three groups. Among Latin Americans, low educational level was also associated with violence. Among Moroccans, those who had perceived discrimination showed the greatest differences in prevalence of violence compared with natives. Intimate partner violence (IPV) registered a prevalence of below 2%. As a conclusion, in this study, violence was little reported and higher among immigrants. The principal violence-related factor was discrimination. More studies of this type are called for to characterize the problem in other population-representative samples.

“…Furthermore, the questionnaire inquired about relevant characteristics of the partner, important for the comprehension of the social dimension of IPV, according to Heise's ecological conceptual framework [38]. Finally, the study contributes important data to the scarce evidence available in Spain on the magnitude of IPV in immigrant populations, which should aid in the design and implementation of policies for the prevention of IPV an the social integration of immigrants, a group of particular vulnerability to this problem [8,16,39].…”

Immigrants are vulnerable to Intimate partner violence (IPV). This study aims at characterising IPV among Colombian immigrants, and to identify its associated factors. Cross-sectional study on 336 Colombian immigrants (46 % women), aged 15-70 years, living in Spain. Self-reported questionnaire information on IPV suffered throughout the last year was collected face-to-face. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with IPV. Almost 30 % of participants reported IPV, without differences by gender (p = 0.339). Partner's alcohol consumption was associated with a higher frequency of being victim of IPV in both sexes. In women, low educational level, and discrimination were further associated to IPV. Younger age, and poorer self-perceived health in Spain as compared to Colombia were factors associated in men. Results showed similarly high levels of IPV among immigrant men and women. Alcohol consumption, education, discrimination, age, and poor self-perceived health were factors associated to IPV.
